Key Highlights of Google Clips

Google Clips

The camera shoots short motion photos that last several seconds, which Google calls “clips.”

Your clips sync wirelessly and in seconds from the camera to the Google Clips app for Android or iOS. Simply swipe to save or delete your clips, or choose an individual frame to save as a high-resolution still photo.

And if you’re using Google Photos, you can backup unlimited clips for FREE.

Privacy and Control: Google Clips lights up when it’s on so everyone knows what Clips does and when it’s capturing. As you capture with Clips, the camera learns to recognize the faces of people that matter to you and helps you capture more moments of them.

And just like any point-and-shoot, nothing leaves your device until you decide to save it and share it.

Availability and Pricing

Google Clips is coming soon to the U.S. for $249. In this first edition, Clips is designed specifically with parents and pet owners in mind. It works best with Pixel, and also works with Samsung S7/8 and on iPhone (6 and up).
